Senior Feature Owner – ADAS/AD Driving Features

Senior Feature Owner (ADAS/AD)
At Lucid, we set out to introduce the most captivating, luxury electric vehicles that elevate the human experience and transcend perceived limitations of space, performance, and intelligence. Vehicles are intuitive, liberating, and designed for the future of mobility.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Conceptualize, prototype, and launch cutting‑edge L2++/L3/L4 driving features, including but not limited to:

Hands‑off highway driving with driver monitoring system (DMS) supervision

Automated lane changes and highway merge/exit maneuvers

Urban automated driving (intersections, traffic signals, roundabouts)

Conditional automation (L3) with fallback‑ready transition of control (ToC) strategies

Geo‑fenced L4 highway pilot with minimal driver intervention

Advanced longitudinal and lateral control (steering, braking, acceleration) on ODD‑defined roads

Own the end‑to‑end feature lifecycle from concept through production launch ensuring timely delivery, fully validated, high‑quality customer features

Create and manage feature roadmaps for multiple vehicle program lines, securing buy‑in from stakeholders including marketing, homologation, safety, and executive leadership

Serve as the voice of the customer, representing L2++/L3/L4 features in all internal and external communications

Develop comprehensive feature definitions, including use cases, ODD, functional requirements, and target performance KPIs

Collaborate closely with the Functional Safety team to facilitate HARA, Safety Goal development, and SOTIF analysis specific to higher automation levels

Drive feature specifications using creative ideas and lead usability studies with UX/UI design teams, focusing on seamless handoff experiences between automated and manual driving

Partner with Tier 1 suppliers and internal teams (perception, planning, controls, mapping) to implement innovative L2++/L3/L4 solutions

Lead competitive benchmarking to stay current with industry trends, emerging regulations, and competitor L3/L4 offerings

Work cross‑functionally with systems engineering, software, validation, and homologation teams to ensure seamless and robust feature development and delivery

Support V&V strategy development for higher automation features, including scenario‑based testing, simulation, and real‑world validation approaches

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or related field

3–5 years hands‑on experience in ADAS/AD feature development, focusing on L2+ and above driving automation features

Proven track record of bringing ADAS/AD driving features into production

(e.g., highway assist, traffic jam pilot, automated lane change, hands‑off driving)

Strong expertise in use case development, ODD definition, and requirements engineering for L2++/L3/L4 features

Solid understanding of SAE J3016 automation levels and the functional/architectural differences between L2+, L3, and L4 systems

Experience with automotive supplier interaction, specification development, project/release management, and change management

Strong understanding of regulations and standards relevant to higher automation: regulations FMVSS, GSR, ECE R79, ECE R157, DCAS‑R171; standards ISO 26262, ISO/PAS 21448 (SOTIF), ASPICE, ISO 34502/34503

Proficiency with requirements management tools (JAMA, DOORS, etc.)

Proficiency with agile development tools such as JIRA

Excellent communication skills and ability to present complex automation concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

Master’s degree in systems engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related field

Previous experience as a Feature Owner or Product Owner for L2+/L3/L4 driving functions at an OEM or Tier 1 supplier

Experience with driver monitoring systems (DMS) and their integration with hands‑off/eyes‑off driving modes

Familiarity with scenario‑based testing frameworks, simulation tools (e.g., dSPACE, CarMaker, CARLA), and SiL/HiL validation for AD features

Knowledge of perception sensor suites (camera, radar, LiDAR, ultrasonics) and sensor fusion architectures relevant to L3/L4

Understanding of motion planning, path planning, and decision‑making algorithms at a conceptual level

Experience with Euro NCAP testing and scoring methodologies, particularly for assisted driving grading schemes

Knowledge of in‑vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet)

Experience with feature‑level project management and ADAS software development processes

Familiarity with OTA (Over‑the‑Air) update strategies for iterative feature deployment
